IMPROVEMENT IN BED-LOUNGES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 133,992, dated December17, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL KENNEDY, of the city and county of Alleghenyand State Improved My invention consists of a lounge provided r Withalarge hollow arm or reclining support, 7 which is hinged to the end andcloses down on the mattress to conceal the pillows, but swings over fromthe mattress to make room for the head of the bed, when used as such;all as [hereinafter described.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of the lounge;

of Fig. 1 taken tion of the lounge extended and made ready k a for abed.

A is the back portion, and B the lower port 7 tion of the double bottomof the lounge resting on legs 0. D represents the upper part of thedouble bottom, which at the front is supported a on the legs E, to whichthe front piece F of the frame is attached; at the other side it restson i the part B, whereon it slides out and in. It is provided with hooksG, which engage with H on part B when pulled out, to hold the two partsfrom separating. K and L represent the two parts of the cushion andmattress. These parts of a sofa-bedstead are old and well known to thepublic. The recliningrest N is hollow, open at the bottom, and hinged tothe end of the frame at 0 so as to swing over to the positionrepresented in dotted lines P, out of the way when the lounge is to beturned into the bed. It rests on the bracket Q when so adjusted. Whenthe lounge is folded up for use as such the rest N swings back upon thecushions at that end and incloses the pillows R in its hollow space. Thehead-board S is connected to the side board F, and the head of theback-frame is detachable, and is taken 0E and placed between the twoparts of the mattress when not in use.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is I The hollow-hinged rest N applied tosofabedsteads, substantially as and for the purpose described.
